How far can you walk? We'll answer all your questions about the walking range (♡)

Hello (♡) I'm Mirai Konawa, in charge of makeup and dressing ♡

This time, I will introduce some of my favorite places within the walking distance of GION AYA, as well as places that are perfect for Instagram.

I would like to tell you more about what is around GION AYA, such as places that are typical of Kyoto.

There are many places to visit within a 10-minute walk from GION AYA.

First of all, the nearest shrine is the one famous for the Gion Festival."Yasaka Shrine".

For children, it is possible to go to the Shichigosan ceremony dressed as a maiko.

It is within a 3-minute walk"Nene's Way"This is the place where you can experience the townscape and scenery of THE Kyoto.

You can enjoy the view of the Kodaiji Temple and Kodaiji Park along the way.

The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the new green leaves are beautiful in summer, the leaves turn red in autumn, and the snow is white in winter.

You can see completely different scenery depending on the season.

If you walk for 5 minutes,"Maruyama Park"There is also a park famous for its weeping cherry trees, which is very spacious.

There is also a pond. You can enjoy the seasonal scenery here too.

A 10-minute walk away,"Koshindo"A colorful Instagram-worthy photo spot.

There is a recommended spot, but it is very popular and crowded, so I took photos with the people around me.

While taking photos, I find myself losing more and more time...

There aren't many people in the morning, so I don't like it when there are a lot of people. But if you want to take photos here,

I recommend making a reservation in the morning. You can see the five-story pagoda.

The stone-paved street has a Kyoto-like atmosphere."Stone Wall Alley"That's also true.

It used to be a place where you could take a stroll,

Since it is now private property, it is prohibited to enter dressed as a maiko.

There are now many tourists from various countries.

Photography has been banned in many places, and the places where you can take photos have become limited,

There are still many other places to explore around the Maiko Experience Center GION AYA (♡)

You can also ride a rickshaw while you're out and about, or have one called to bring you to the front of the shop.

There are also rickshaws parked in some areas, so if you'd like to ride one, please ask the staff.

Please feel free to say hello to us♡ If you ride in a rickshaw, the rickshaw drivers will take some great photos for you.

They take a lot of photos, so you can also get a photo of everyone together.

There are several places within walking distance where rickshaws are parked.

Walking around in a maiko costume will make you feel like a celebrity, so be sure to give it a try!

Thank you for listening until the end♡
